until next week

Well I finished the week from hell, and even stayed at work today until 4:30, when everyone else had left between 2:30 and 3!!! I should have known that, despite my best efforts, my year-end goals would end up being beginning-of-next-year goals... There goes that extra-bonus bonus. Oh, and I like using hyphens.

For those of you that are interested (and yes, I am fully aware of the paltry size of my audience), I am still sick, and quite possible developing the annual Sinus Infection. I have, however, procured all necessary preventative medicines, so with some luck I will be 100% when I embark on my New Mexico road trip in a mere 3 days!

Poor Matilda, unbeknownst to her, has been signed up for a week with A's parents and their huge, long-haired Fat Cat that is at least twice her size. Last time she had a playdate at their house, she attempted to swipe FC from 2 steps up. He got back at her by eating all of her food.

For now, it's time to relax before a weekend of baking cookies, watching tubas play Christmas music, exchanging carefully chosen gifts, and schmoozing with the boyfriend's extended family. Immediately after that I am headed westward, towards Route 66! Have a fantabulous and safe week, everyone!
